Lexi's Enchanted Garden 2nd Birthday Party

I thought it would be fun to make Lexi her own little fairy garden so my husband & I put together a cute little fairy village.. i'm pretty sure this might become an annual summer thing as Lexi gets older!
{tutorial/diy post to come}

Used fudge type icing from the bakery at grocery store to put on top of chocolate cupcake.. grounded up Chocolate creme centered Oreos for the soil.

Cake: My sister made it,
She used the cupcake silicone & just didn't use the top half.. used frosting from the grocery store bakery and had them die it to the color I wanted we got 1lb & it cost around $4?

Used pearls & clear shimmer flakes (Joannes) to go around the edge
Butterfly came in a pack from Michaels

Sandwiches: we made 2 kinds

Sandwich Thins , thin slice provolone, & turkey deli meat

Sandwich Thins , thin slice provolone, & shredded caeser chicken

(crock pot the chicken thick cubes in caeser dressing then shred the chicken with a hand mixer)

Used parchment paper (grocery store), brown paper (you can buy a roll from the dollar store), & twine (craft store or Wal-Mart) to tie it off

Net, Magnifying Glass, Telescope, & Wand: Zurchers party supply store
Fairy: in a tube at Michaels or here
Jars: found a bunch of them for super cheap a year ago a thrift store.. just spray painted the tops.

So cute!!! What an amazing idea and I love the way the food and decorations came together. Wow! So much cooler than the birthday parties we had when we were little (slip n' slide, bounce house, clown?). Can't wait to see another post about how you did it.

You did a FABULOUS job! I'm into party decor so you got me at this post. Found you though the blog hop and couldn't be happier to follow you. What a darling blog of your and what a cute little family you have.

I have seriously never seen anything more adorable! So much detail! I LOVE it...SO totally up my alley...and I'm not going to lie, I'd love that fairy garden just for me! The kids with the mag. glasses are a hoot! beauitufl!
